If you’ve lived in the South for more than a few minutes, you know what mosquitoes look like. Although they look fragile, they are extremely resilient and prey on both people and a variety of animals.
With two simple steps, Clark’s skilled pest professionals will eliminate the need to worry about these disease-carrying pests that kill mosquitoes.
When coming in contact with them, the residual lasts up to 21 days (depending on weather conditions).
While it is IMPORTANT to have a worry free summer in the sun, it is also important to note the lesser known evils of these pesky stingers!
Mosquito Bites 101
According to the CDC, when a mosquito bites you, it pierces the skin using proboscis (a special mouthpart) to suck up blood. As the mosquito is feeing, its saliva gets into your skin which results in a bump (and let’s not forget) itching.
Typically it is only a mild reaction to a bite(s), however others could react more strongly which could result in swelling, soreness, and redness. Severe reactions is a more likely occurrence with children, people with immune disease disorders, and adults bitten by a mosquito species they’ve never been exposed to.
Mosquito-borne diseases
Mosquitos spread germs through bites. A mosquito gets infected with a virus or parasite when it bites a person or animal that is infected, which in turn the mosquito can spread germs to other people or animals through bites. However, not everyone infected with a mosquito-borne germ gets sick. Heartworms are only transmitted by the bite of an infected mosquito. In rare cases, people can get heartworms after being bitten by an infected mosquito. Because people are not a natural host for heartworms, the larvae usually migrate to the arteries of the heart and lungs and die before they become adult worms.
Don’t let their bite become your itch.
